" One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is the knowing that not only can I help my students, but my students help me. I learn from my students each day and I think that has helped me to become a better teacher.
I enjoy all of the subjects I teach, it’s hard for me to choose one as my favorite. Math is all around us and I feel it’s important for my students to be aware of that – it doesn’t just happen in a textbook. I want my students to be able to relate math to their lives."

"My motto is "I believe in my students!" My pedagogy centers on building confidence and developing sound work habits to reach the goal of skill transfer to school and life in general. A typical tutoring situation starts with my reviewing a student's past work, observing his/her thought processes as he/she works on an assignment. As I continue to assess the strengths and identify the areas of improvement I provide careful guidance so that he/she demonstrates the full competence in him/her independently. I've also been a Mandarin teacher and professional translator for a variety of clients, including classical musicians, diplomats, ...

" With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music."

" I have always had a love for teaching children and it has given me great joy. I have been a nanny and babysitter for years as well as worked as a teaching assistant at a private pre-school.

"As a high school student, and more so as a college student, I came to value discipline and hard work. I believe that there are very few subjects a student cannot master with hard work and dedication.
In the past, I tutored students for Regents examinations, AP exams, as well as for the SAT. I also had a wonderful opportunity to teach GED prep courses to high school dropouts in Brooklyn."

"I love tutoring one-on-one because I can get to know students and gear the lessons toward their interests, which helps them learn more quickly, retain new skills better, and enjoy the tutoring sessions more. I particularly enjoy teaching science, writing, and test prep. With test prep I've found that supplemental work on fundamental skills helps students improve their scores much more than working through a test prep book alone. Watching students develop confidence in their abilities and improve their performance makes my tutoring sessions some of the best hours of my week!." ...

"It's my first love and my gateway to everything from literature to linguistics. I'm a believer that true passion for what you teach is essential to being a great tutor. It's sometimes easy for students to forget what learning means to them in an often stressful and frustrating world of standardized tests and and final exams, but a helpful tutor can really make the difference by presenting the material in a way that is simple and clear and by approaching it with methods that meet each student's needs. I know my students can realize their true potential and success if I can help them see that you really can love what you learn! After graduating ...

"I attended Stuyvesant High School in Tribeca, where I was a member of the debate team and participated in some theater productions. My favorite subject is and has always been English, so it is no surprise that I entered the publishing industry after college and am loving it. The aspect of tutoring I find the most rewarding is watching my students improve, and that is why my favorite subject to teach is SAT, as the progress is easily measurable. With other subjects, it is important to establish your own way of measuring improvement, which will keep motivation high." ...
